Searching is helpful, but the other key activity I'd like to do across social networks is skimming. If I want to invite people to a party, or send out a ping to a bunch of friends that I'm looking for a job, I'd love to be able to do that across networks.

So I'd like a simple alphabetized listing of names that I can skim, and ideally a way to tag people into contact groups so I can have, say, a "brunch invite" list that includes all of them.

From there, it might be nice to be able to directly reach out to them, by sending an email or setting up a facebook event or, maybe someday, filling out a single invitation form that then generates the appropriate notifications on whatever social network each person prefers (kinda like http://gigblastr.com/ ).

But just being able to make a list and get consolidated contact info for those people would be pretty handy.

I can see text for lots of my friends and when I type in text into the search box that I see on the page, that profile with that text goes away. The search doesn't seem to know about all the text being shown.

I want to be able to tag/star key emails or Gtalk IM transcripts so that I can refer exactly to the definitive content of how I know the person and have that come up first in any search (automated or otherwise)
